The Institute of Native Languages, which has been headed by Eset Bokova since June 2024, is actively developing partnerships with experts in the field of preschool education. The meeting was also attended by deputy directors of the institute: Marina Mizova, whose focus of scientific interests is the continuity of preschool and primary general education, and Sargylana Bryzgalova.
The main topic of discussion was the prospects for cooperation in the field of research on preschool education, as well as the Institute’s participation in the All-Russian Forum of Preschool Education Workers “ORIYENTIRY DETSTVA” ("LANDMARKS OF CHILDHOOD"). Special attention was paid to the partnership participation of MPADO in the All-Russian professional competition “The Best Teacher of the Native Language and Native Literature.”
The meeting was attended by Elfiya Dorofeeva - director of innovations at IPAPE, Anna Elanskaya - director of public relations, leading columnist for the "Preschool Education Today" journal, as well as Irina Chistyakova - general director of the International Association of Teachers and Educational Organizations "World Association of Russian Schools".
For the journal “Preschool Education Today” this cooperation is of particular importance. Our publication traditionally pays priority attention to the development of speech in preschoolers - many of the magazine’s key publications are devoted to this topic. We regularly present the most advanced research in the field of speech development, including the work of leading experts on the semantic aspect, the formation of linguistic personality and speech readiness for schooling. Issues of the native language, its preservation and development are organically included in the circle of our scientific and practical interests.
This year, such interaction is of particular relevance - 2026 has been declared by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation as the Year of Preschool Education. Combining professional experience and expert knowledge will contribute to the further development and improvement of the education and upbringing of preschool children, including in the field of speech development and familiarization with their native language from an early age.
